The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move on, we have some books dating from the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food on the menus of the nobility of the time. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
